To find out how many hours a tiger sleeps in 7 weeks, we can calculate the total hours in 7 weeks and then determine the sleep range based on the daily sleep hours.

First, let's determine the total number of hours in 7 weeks:

  • There are 7 days in a week.
  • Total days in 7 weeks = 7 weeks × 7 days/week = 49 days.
  • Total hours in 49 days = 49 days × 24 hours/day = 1,176 hours.

Now, we can find the total sleep time range:

  • Minimum sleep per day = 18 hours.
  • Maximum sleep per day = 20 hours.

Calculating the sleep over the 49 days:

  • Minimum sleep in 49 days = 18 hours/day × 49 days = 882 hours.
  • Maximum sleep in 49 days = 20 hours/day × 49 days = 980 hours.

Thus, the sleep range for a tiger in 7 weeks is: 882 to 980 hours.

The correct response is: 882 to 980 hours.
